The Fake Photo of John Kerry and Jane Fonda

According to an article in the NYT on Feb. 14, 2004 and the website Snopes.com , in early February enemies of John Kerry circulated a picture on the Internet showing Kerry and Jane Fonda sharing the same stage at an anti-war rally. According to Snopes:

The picture was created by merging two different photographs (both available through the Corbis archives) taken at two completely different times and places. The picture of John Kerry was captured by 20-year-old photographer Ken Light and documented Kerry preparing to give a speech at the Register for Peace Rally held in Mineola, New York, on 13 June 1971. The picture of Jane Fonda was snapped by Owen Franken over a year later while the actress was speaking at a political rally in Miami Beach, Florida, site of the Republican National Convention, in August 1972 .
